Kris Waverick to the DL

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Catcher Kris Waverick of Vancouver, B.C. is on the D.L. with a broken wrist. Kris suffered the injury in the semi-final of the Kelowna tournament over Memorial Weekend, on a play at the plate. His wrist was fractured in two places, and will require surgery next Monday, and a new cast. (He’s had one on for two weeks, but will be re-cast after surgery)

Prognosis: He’ll be sidelined for six weeks, and then hopes he can be ready to join the Portland team at the ISC World Tournament in August.

“[It was a] clean slide”, he is quick to add. “It’s disappointing, as it’s the first time in my career i have missed more than a game because of injury i couldn’t play through.”

We wish him a speedy recovery.

Fastball This Week
From Dennis Dosman

Editor’s note: A good batch of information from the Ontario province and thereabouts, from Dennis Dosman:

First of all…..I sent a note out last week to many of you about our good pal, former TienHoa and Waterloo Twin coach Doug Davies saying that he was in London’s University hospital for surgery. Doug’s daughter Jen has been keeping some of us informed…and the latest I have is that he is still in ICU with hope that he will soon be released to a floor…prayers and well wishes to one of fastball’s finest….

Niagara on the Lake, the Snapper Shootout this past weekend….got off to a great start on Friday night…Saturday a complete schedule in but Sunday was a rain out…..and the tournament was called early Sunday morning…

Here are some highlights courtesy of Al’s Fastball…and Dan ‘Bernard of the Snappers

Rain Ends 2010 Snapper Shootout

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

With a ton of rain overnight and continuing rain for most of the day forecasted, the tournament committee has decided that the tournament will be cancelled.

The total prize money was dispersed as following:

DIVISION WINNERS will receive $600. These include Niagara Snappers, Elmira Expos, Alvinston Indians and Waterdown Hammer.

2nd PLACE IN DIVISION will receive $350. These include Quyon Flyers, Hill United, Jarvis Travelers and Palermo Athletics.

A SIDE had a total of $3800 assigned to it. Money was awarded based on finish in round robin play.

B SIDE TEAMS will receive $50. These include KW Cubs, Owen Sound Selects, Cobourg Force and Oshawa BB’s.

B WINNER was to receive $200 in prize money so we divided it by 4.

All $4000 in prize money was dispersed in what we believe was a fair fashion, rewarding the teams based on their finish in round robin play. We appreciate all the teams understanding in this situation.
